I asked him, why don't you allow for ratings, and don't you think that putting other photographers, informers down is very amateurish, my reply was:

Hi!
You embarrassed yourself to the maximum with your reckless commenting skills.

1: We disabled the rating because we don't ask for criticism and the $2,000,000 question is, how would we improve the video by looking at rating stars? We made these videos for free, better to enjoy it than absolutely nothing. 7,000+ people find this channel useful, too late, sorry.

2: Who said I am an amateur or a professional? You? Haven't you read the title of the video, "Funny Photography Quotes"? Obviously it is for entertainment, not to turn people down.

3: We have came into an agreement to block you for recklessly commenting. Have a nice day.

I asked him what was so funny about Gordon's question and why he had deleted my comments for the fact that I disagreed with that part of the video.This was his reply :

Hi!
You embarrassed yourself for not bothering reading the profile information where it states very clearly, "Please note, all comments require an approval from one of us."

I believe you need to watch the video again to get the right idea, Gordon was asking me what I was using so I gave him the answer. The funny part is my answer silenced him because he did not expect it.

Everyone finds the videos to be funny except you because, again, you failed to read the profile information where it states very clearly, "Please remind yourself, sometimes I (Joey) can become straightforward, sarcastic, and blunt when replying to comments and emails, please do not take it too personally." Apparently, you do not have any sense of humor,

So, you posted two rude comments so I have come into an agreement to block you.

.....We have came into an agreement to block you for recklessly commenting. Have a nice day.

Ta-da!

The guy needs to get a grip on reality!!!

<BAM></BAM>
Lovely writing! I make a lot of mistakes, but I'd never use the wrong tense like that.

Here is some info about him. He is deaf, which is unfortunate and we should not pick on that part. But some of the things he is doing are just plain wrong.

His family is extremely rich, therefore he has the most expensive equipment money can buy. He is not really a photographer, he was just an amateur asking questions such as what aperture is 3 years ago on dpreview forums under one of the many names he has.

And now he is the expert giving people advice. He also has so much money that he used to buy bodies just to do "torture tests" on them, but he has removed those videos from his channel. Some youtube user happened to save one of those videos. Here it is, where he "torture tests" a D3.

How bizarre. Suffice it to say I did not contact him with these questions, and I have made an official complaint to YT about it. It's childish, but also libellous.

My only contact with this person was when he emailed to ask that a thread about him on this forum be removed. I replied that since he insists on posting antagonistic and incorrect information, he is bound to draw some criticism and debunking. This was during September last year, so his 'revenge' has been somewhat slow.
